Key Change
by PFL
Here's a story to ease us into the Christmas month - which often starts out a bit restless and fretful, rather like Bodie here. Partner worry stories are one of my bullet-proof kinks, and PFL does this one nicely. We're there with Bodie all the way, to the point that it doesn't feel like a Bodie-alone story, because Doyle is there in Bodie's head the whole way too. Will Doyle get home to see his mum at Christmas? Read it to find out... *vbg*


The Advent Calendar so far

Thank you for the first count-down-story. It was a new one for me and it might have been years to come till I would have found it. I like it. :-)

You're very welcome! I wanted to try and find one that we hadn't had before, so I'm glad you liked it! *g*

Partner worry with a happy end - my cup of tea. It's been a good start in the week, thank you.

Well what a way to start the pros rec countdown, one of my favourite topics "partner worry" and Bodie doing the worrying..... thankyou.

Lol - I never thought of that, because to me it screams Doyle as well, but yes! *g*

I thought I'd read everything PFL ever wrote. Guess I was wrong! So thanks for picking this story. It's truly lovely and a wonderful way to start the Advent calendar...and the day!

Well that worked well then - I'd been looking for stories that hadn't been recced before (as far as I could see/remember)! *g*

A lovely start to the season, thank you! I don't think I'd read this one before, and I loved it. I agree, verywell handled. Some beauties in this one, like:

something in Bodie had ached—for him, for them both. He had been unable to disobey the impulse to reach out, slide his fingers through Doyle's hair and cup his head.  He'd needed to feel the warmth that lived within Doyle.  He'd needed to capture that warmth, taste it—  And so he'd brought his mouth to Doyle's.
Just perfect. And it's the unspoken communication, the way they read each other, can see truth in each other's eyes that makes me deliriously happy.

You always seem to pick out the very paragraphs that caught at my heart too - yes! Exactly right! *g*

This is one of my favorite stories and one that I reread often. Such intense emotion and along with the lovely partner worry is figuring out where they are in their relationship and I really love that.
